Reggie Bush won't be returning to South Beach next season, according to one report.

The Miami Herald, citing an unnamed source close to Bush, said the free agent running back will hit the free agent market as expected.

Three teams reportedly contacted Bush on Saturday, the start of the league's three-day negotiating period. The Herald didn't identify any of the three, but the Lions and Cardinals are widely thought to be among the clubs interested in the 28-year-old Bush.

The newspaper added that Arizona is interested in cornerback Sean Smith, another Dolphins' free agent. Tampa Bay and New England also were mentioned as potential suitors.
